	That's certainly an opinion, though it does not address the
 technical reasons that prompted the compile-at-install behaviour we
 have now. We have two different kinds of (divergent) emacsen, and I
 think 5 versions between the two of them, byte compiling at build
 time would need a) all the flavours of emacsen to be in the build
 depends (which would certainly be a burden to me, a emacs lisp
 [package maintainer), and b) require 5 or more packages, c) an
 upgrade of emacs could mean that the byte code became incompatible,
 so a recompile would be needed.
